Fun and accessible 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful setting and easier to follow than previous reviews have suggested. Most tees are marked with painted and numbered stumps and there were mostly Mach 2 baskets, with still a few keg tones and homemades, which I love, if for nothing more than the nostalgia. Some massive old growth Doug firs and I found most of the holes to be fairly long but wide open (350'+). Big plus, there is not much that is free in Ketchum so this floats to the top of the list. Very hard to lose a disk here, so that's awesome. Mowed fairways in a large number of cases.

Cons:

Most of the drives followed a very similar pattern and were very friendly to RH BH approach. This got a little monotonous after like the 10th one, but it was a very enjoyable course in a great setting. The lack of permanent tees was a bit of a bummer, but the dirt tees helped to point the way to the right basket. An inexperienced player would have some trouble sussing out which of the three visible baskets belonged to the tee your were driving from, but experienced players will have little trouble. I think this place has great potential and a thoughtful redesign with some increased technicality could produced a seriously badass course.

Other Thoughts:

Well worth the stop. I'll definitely play repeat rounds here, especially as there is only one other local choice in Hailey. It's a fun, accessible course very close to downtown.
